Storm Franklin hits Sussex
Disruption's expected to travel
Storm Franklin is continuing to hit much of the country, with a yellow weather warning for strong winds in force across Sussex.
The Met Office has the alert in force through until 1pm (21 February) and the Environment Agency has issued a number of flood alerts for coastal areas, including Climping and Pevensey Bay.
Southern is urging us not to travel by train today owing to the adverse weather.
A statement on their website says: "If you have not yet travelled to the station, or if you are otherwise able to, please abandon your journey. Stay at home.
"If you are waiting at a station, please see if you can return home and travel on another day.
"The situation will change regularly as trees fall and objects are blown onto the lines, and in most areas , no service may able to run.
"Replacement transport will not be able to run due to the weather conditions. It is no longer possible to run the amended timetable for today.
"Where trains are being delayed between stations we are aware, and working to rescue passengers as soon as possible. Once everyone is able to get off the train, we still expect that it will not be possible to complete journeys as normal.
"A speed restriction of 50 mph will also be in place across the network. This restriction is due to further severe weather conditions."
And a number of homes are still without power in Sussex, after Storm Eunice swept through the country last week.
Many have been without electricity since Friday, with UK Power Networks hoping to restore connections as soon as possible.
